It aired on the CW in the '90s. Hi, Jayrath! Are you sure you saw the 80s Astroboy you were part of on the "CW" in the "90s"? As far as I know the CW which was a merger between the then UPN and the WB networks had its first broadcast in 2006! The Astro Boy series that did air on the WB & Cartoon ne...

My favorite version is the original 1960s U.S. dubbed animated version, because for me it has the best combination of humor and drama! While I have come to like each version of "TetsuWan Atom(u)", the 1960s anime was the one that Dr. Tezuka was closest to in its production and Fred Ladd and staff ha...

Box set# 1 has the original first Japanese episode and Japanese episode# 20, in Japanese with English subtitles! Box set# 2 has Japanese episodes#s 34, 56 (the full color episode) and 193 (the final epiosde) all in Japanese with English subtitles! I think what Jeffbert is concerned with is that perm...
